CBS renews 'Two and a Half Men'

CBS has closed a deal with Ashton Kutcher and officially renewed Two and a Half Men for a tenth season.The show's ratings have declined since star Charlie Sheen was fired last year, but it remains an important part of the network's Monday comedy lineup. Kutcher's co-stars John Cryer and Angus T. Jones will also return to Men. Sheen's new FX series, a remake of Anger Management, is due next month.

ASHTON KUTCHER DELIVERS HUGE 'MEN' RATINGS

After months of publicity, Ashton Kutcher pulled in a mind-blowing 27.7 million viewers in his debut on 'Two and a Half Men', the first without Charlie Sheen. This was the highest-rated season premiere on any network in six years, since the second season premiere of 'Desperate Housewives' in September 2005.

In addition, it marks a nearly 90 percent jump in total viewers, compared to last season's bow, which averaged 14.6 million and 4.9 in the 18-49 demographics. Still, the real test for 'Two and a Half Men' and its new leader will come next week, given these opening numbers may have simply been a case of curiosity.
